Second Division B Clubs 2012/13

Once again many of the second division B teams have had serious
financial problems, and those who couldn't pay their debts to players at the
end of the season have been relegated to the regional third division. This year
that included Badajoz, Ceuta, Denia, Palencia and Puertollano, and they have
been replaced by Avilés, Espanyol B, Levante B, Racing Santander B and
Real Madrid C, who each put up 190,000 to cover the outstanding debts of
the outgoing clubs. (10.07.12)

Orihuela have also been relegated to the third division after
they failed to put up the 200,000 bank guarantee which is now required
for teams to compete. They have been replaced by Universidad Católica
San Antonio "UCAM" Murcia. (20.07.12)

PS. Orihuela were re-instated on appeal, and group III will now
contain 21 teams!

Final groupings are set out below - clubs in red relegated from
second division A, green promoted from regional third divisions, blue replacing
other clubs.
